For some of us that wake up in the middle of the night because we are suffering from a heartburn attack, feeling a burning liquid going up from the stomach to the throat, finding a heartburn cure is something we are looking for constantly.

Heartburn cure is not always possible but by finding our heartburn causes we can get relief using natural remedies or sometimes medicine. One of the first steps we have to take is determine what things that we eat are making us to feel uncomfortable and keep a record of them, so that we know what food we should not eat or eat very little. By discovering what is not good for our stomach we can have a better night sleep.

If you are having this burning feeling at night there are some things you can do, one is to raise your upper body with pillows, not only you head Another thing that can help is to raise the head of the bed by putting some bricks or something similar on the bed legs. You can also sleep sitting up until the discomfort goes away.

It is not a good idea eating before going to bed if you do so you will certainly have the acid from your stomach get its way into your esophagus, irritating it and causing you a terrible heartburn waking you up from your sleep

For people that have this problem once in a while the heartburn cure can be relived by just taking an anti-acid. If your heartburn is severe it´s a good idea to look for medical assistance.

I am 12 and have recently evry few days have had a minute or so of heartburn. It really hurts and when i have it, it is heart to breathe. Help what is wrong with me? Is it the hydroclhoric acid in my stomach or what?

The way i understood it :

Acid is normally produced by our body in our stomach to digest the food we eat.

The last time I got heartburn, my doctor said the acid in my stomach was being produced too early before it was time for me to eat.

Desi_Fly, Both heartburn and a hiatal hernia are related. At the lower end of the esophagus, where it ends to start the upper stomach, the esophagus is surrounded by muscle tissue of the diaphragm. This is called the esophago-gastric junction. When food is in the stomach, this muscle contracts and prevents food and strongly acid stomach juices from flowing back (up) into the esophagus. When the muscle is weak or incompetent in failing to close when the stomach squeezes food, the very acid stomach contents flow up a bit into the esophagus and produce heartburn. Left untreated, over time, the lower part of the esophagus will be inflamed and damaged and more.

Fennel and peppermint are also taken by many people to cure heartburn. Fennel seeds are mixed in water or tea and consumed. Tamarind juice mixed with sugar can also cure heartburn. Slippery elm is a widely regarded remedy for heartburn. It is also used in all lozenges to reduce throat irritation. Marshmallows contain mucilage which can help to soothe and comfort the stomach lining. Consuming marshmallow root tea is a good home remedy. Consuming large amounts of water too is a good way of preventing heartburn.

I almost never get heartburn. The only food in the world that will consistently give me heartburn every time all the time is oatmeal. I stopped eating it years ago when I found it was the culprit. I even tried it without sugar, cinnamon, or any additives.

Yep, straight up plain oatmeal even only 1/4 of a cup, will give me fierce heartburn.

Why is this? No other food causes this, not one, no meat, fruit or any other grain will cause heartburn.

Thats the same as happens to me sometimes.

But I am beginning to nitice that I only get heartburn after eating oatmean IF my tummy has alot of acid’s.

Because beer and orange juice or any other citric fruit will raise the amount of acid in your stomach. If oatmeal being injested afther period of acidy goods. You def will get heartburn.

The scale of aids in food and body is: Acid – alkaline.
Alkaline being the opposite of acidic.

Keeping the balance is the way to go.
If you balance it. You can eat oatmeal without getting heartburn. too much acidic food will cause pain.
